What Was the Real Reason for the Iraq War?
In Bush’s infamous “State of the Union Address” he dramatically declared that the U.S.A. was militarily threatened by Saddam Hussein. Pausing, and speaking with grave, almost hushed tones, Bush defined the threat that was heard around the world. Weapons of mass destruction, along with processing yellow cake Uranium for nuclear power, sent visions of a mushroom cloud above the land of the free, the home of the brave. This was enough to prompt a misled Congress to literally leap to their feet, robot style. The Vietnam War debacle, where 55,000 U.S. service personnel sacrificed their lives, thinking the U.S. was under the much publicized threat of Communist domination, and all Asia might fall victim to a “domino effect” of first Vietnam, then all of Asia becoming Communists. This projected theory worked effectively just like weapons of mass destruction and the frightening mushroom nuclear cloud scare tactic worked.
